The popular competition is divided into five different sections, with Topham’s team competing in the division one competition in which the Crozier’s Turkeys team was proving to be the team to beat this season, having taken out the pre-Christmas title.

Geraldine won the division two A round one title while Agitated Panda won round one of division two B.

Division three’s round one title was won by I’d Hit That, while the hard-fought women’s competition was being led by the Dorie Damsels heading into the latest round.

Although there was a dedicated ladies division, women’s and mixed teams were also part of some of the higher grades.
